Weeknotes: May 30–June 5, 2026

Traveling for work on my own terms, balanced against a rich home life, is what I want every week to look like. Shipped Last week I signed off saying I’d booked a focused few days in Austin, and this week I went. With a relative lull in deliverables, and my team starting to map out our next major initiative, it was a good time to be in the room with everyone face to face. Austin is an easy flight from Atlanta. Door to office runs about six or seven hours, which is a hell of a commute but not a stressful one. I usually drive to the airport and leave my car in one of the nearby lots, but with a single bag this time I tried MARTA instead. I got up early, drove a little over an hour to the closest station, which has long-term parking and caters to airport travelers, and took the train in from there. It didn’t really save me any time, but it was cheaper, and there’s something nice about not having to drive through the heart of the city to reach the airport. I expect I’ll be doing this more…
